Jennifer Lopez to star opposite Brett Goldstein in rom-com Office Romance

Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein are to lead Netflix's 'Office Romance'.

The 55-year-old actress and the 'Ted Lasso' actor, 44, will star in the upcoming rom-com, while Goldstein will also write the script with Joe Kelly.

Plot details about the picture are being kept under wraps for the time being, and the project is yet to find a director.

'Office Romance' will mark Lopez's third film with Netflix after she starred opposite Simu Liu in the sci-fi blockbuster 'Atlas' and Leslie Lluvet in action-thriller 'The Mother'.

Jennifer's latest film is 'Unstoppable', which tells the true story of Anthony Robles (Jharrel Jerome), a man born with one leg who goes on to defy all expectations by becoming a champion wrestler.

The movie was produced by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck – Lopez's estranged husband – and is the first collaboration between the now-separated couple since their wedding in July 2022.

The pair had also briefly worked together on Affleck's 'Air', which chronicles Nike's relationship with basketball icon Michael Jordan.

The 'Justice League' previously heaped praise on his ex-wife, calling her contributions to the project "brilliant".

He told The Hollywood Reporter: "I started writing and working with Matt, and Jen gave me some great lines too.

"Oh my God, she's brilliant. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the way fashion evolves through the culture as a confluence of music, sports, entertainment and dance.

"She helped me in talking about the way in which a part of the reason why Jordans [the shoes] were so meaningful is because culture and style in America is 90 per cent driven by black culture. Black culture has historically pioneered music, dance, fashion, and it's then been stolen, appropriated, remarketed as Elvis or whatever."

Affleck continued: "And in this case, [Nike] a white-run corporate entity, was starting to do business with African-American athletes in an identity affiliation sales thing.

"They were really taking value from what Michael Jordan represents and who he is. I don't think the meaning can be overstated. They're going to switch from, 'Hey, guys, we are a nice shoe,' to 'If Mike has it, you want it.'"
